    Investing General Discussion

    As for Oil, there seems to be a wide variation on takes. As long as Iran limits flow, that will introduce inherent upward pressure. Supposed "industry experts" on Bloomberg today were saying if the strait is still essentially shut down in 2 weeks Oil will reach $150 before it goes down. Not...

    Health Problems

    My wife has some nerve impingement around her lower back and hip that she is prescribed Gabapentin for, and she only takes it when things "get bad" because of those exact side effects. She can't take feeling mentally flooby. I've evolved in the opposite direction. At first I always needed an...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    If we look at how people are accessing AI right now, much of it is gated by larger and larger corps profiting off our use of it. This leads me to believe at least in the nearer term we're going to see AI's turning huge corporations into megacorps, and they will control what AI the lowly serfs...

    One Piece

    OK. just finished season 2 and I can't think of a single thing they could have changed to make me like it more. So far it's a near note perfect adaptation. And as mentioned, it somehow manages to not take itself seriously... Yet pull off stuff like the Chopper origin story, and then the...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    Saw a video today about this which said this movie has now had EIGHT screening runs with editing/reshoots after them to try to make it more audience palatable. (For those who do not know, 8 is a somewhat eye popping number of screenings to need to do).

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    That's apparently one of the big reasons this fraud is so prevalent. If my sister and I weren't watching her mail and tracking what was going on she never would have even noticed that someone flipped her insurance until all of a sudden she was getting massive bills from half her doctors because...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    The other problem is that it's SO EASY to defraud. When I got on the phone with the Medicare people, I told them my mom's name, and my name and that I was her power of attorney handling all her affairs. How did they validate this information? Asked for her DOB and her Medicare card number...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    One of the most boggling parts of this.. a GOVENMENTAL OFFICE was able to do something more efficiently than two different private businesses, so I'm also having my cognitive dissonance today. Ah yes.. The US MEDICARE DIAL IN OFFICE : 1-800-633-4227

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    OK.... In today's episode of "What the hell is Rustling Haus' Jimmies So Much" : (Full disclosure, I am full power of attorney and handle all finances and medical stuff for my mom who is in her mid 70's) Her Medicare Part B or whatever was flipped from Humana to UHC without her or my...

    One Piece

    As for timing, from what I hear they're already filming the next season, so hopefully they're realizing these multi-year gaps don't work well when you have flesh and blood actors.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    OK, question in case someone knows this... Do the mobs still scale up HP if there are multiple people fighting them? It kinda feels like that. And my usual Sunday afternoon nonsense in the game is my wife and I running some delves and prey runs. Also, funny when you're paired up and do...
